Description
A crunchy and delicious salad with cabbage, chicken, and a creamy sesame dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups green cabbage (finely shredded)
- 1–1/2 cups red cabbage (finely shredded)
- 1 cup grated carrot (peeled & grated on the large holes of a box grater)
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
- Crispy chow mein noodles (added to preference)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (or use vegetable oil)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1–1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small blender jar, combine olive oil, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, mayo, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 35 seconds. Stir in sesame seeds. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a large bowl, combine both cabbages, carrot, chicken, and green onions. If storing for later, keep the dressing separate.
- When ready to serve, drizzle with dressing to taste (you likely won’t need it all) and toss until evenly coated, adding more dressing if desired.
- Divide onto plates. Top with chow mein noodles (as many as you like) and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, store the dressing separately if not serving immediately to maintain the crispness of the salad.
- This salad can be customized with additional vegetables if desired.
